Thailand - Simon Robinson, 27, UK National, failed to board his flight home, Bangkok, 27 July 2024

[Herat]

A screenshot of the post from the Imigration Officer is still on the sisters fb, THAT is the person who told her he made the Helsinki flight # AY142...she asked if it was DEFINITE and they replied to her by saying they are an Immigration Officer from Thailand so THAT defines the accuracy of the info eta 2BBM: YES they said that!!!!!

This does not sound as though the responsible investigating officer(s) in Thailand have made any confirmation at all.

This sounds like the kind of garbage that was going on with Jay Slater in Tenerife when the worst of social media got involved.

Perhaps his phone was stolen from him and that person ended up with his phone on a plane to Helsinki. It's not making sense to me at all yet.

I just don't understand why he isn't contacting anyone. Maybe he lost his phone charger. Or maybe his phone got wet and it's been in a bag of rice all this time. I'm sure there is a long list of possible reasons we can come up with.......................................................................................

I really have to wonder just WHAT Simon said to his girlfriend when he called her to say he was coming home after only a FEW days!!! He must have given a reason and she must have questioned him about his change in plans IMO. It might give an indication of his frame of mind for one thing.

Snipped...
...A user, identifying themselves as Pol Rithikrai, who works for Thai immigration confirmed Simon had boarded Flight no. AY142 on July 26 at 05:46 am. But despite the crucial update, Simon's whereabouts in Finland are still unknown.

Mum of missing Brit in Thailand issues fresh update as mystery surrounds flight

Simon Robinson, 27, from Skegness, Lincolnshire, was due to fly back to the UK on July 26, with close friends and family believing he never boarded his flight at the Suvarnabhumi International Airport in Bangkok, Thailand

This is crucial but not reported anywhere. As far as I can see, there's no official confirmation of what country he's in. This does make me believe it's still Thailand.
I wonder about the phone 'ping', if this this is a 'find my phone' type thing as they seem to have had the data very quickly.

Most of the information that is out there seems to be heresay.

It would be helpful if they could disclose detail, FOR EXAMPLE: 'he was intending to stay near Khao San Road' so at least bars/hotels etc could be targeted more specifically in whatever the area was. If he was travelling solo and socialising then it's likely he chatted with someone about his trip. Bangkok is a huge city, and not far off the population of London. So just saying that the destination was Bangkok is like looking for a needle in a haystack.

Surely someone must have known a bit about his origins intentions, and surely the girlfriend knows why he said he wanted to return early.

So much seems very odd and err, unreliable. I hope that he is safe and located soon. Likely in Thailand, perhaps. Randos on FB could be a mere diversion, JMOOO.

I believe it could simply mean he was online on facebook or snapchat (or some other app) consistent with the time the flight would of landed, this could of been messages being being delivered at this time.

There seems to have been very little social media activity from Simon's friends and family for two or three days. I don't know if there is any significance to this.

 

[PommyMommy]

So, did he log in, post something, "like" a post? What does this mean, "last active?"

Missing Brit vanished in Bangkok after tourist disappeared in similar case

A BRIT went missing from a holiday in Thailand just after an Australian tourist vanished in an eerily similar case. Lincolnshire native Simon Robinson, 27, hasn’t been since or heard from sin…

www.the-sun.com

It's believed he took a Finnair flight from Bangkok-Helsinki, but never hopped on a connecting jet into the UK.

Friend Demi Guttesen also wrote on Facebook: "Please share. Simon’s whereabouts are still unknown and he is still very much missing but now the focus is on Helsinki, Finland where his connecting flight would have landed at the time he was last active on his social media.

Agree. Plus the fact there was no contact on his birthday very worrying imo
Anyone could be using his phone or logged into his SM apps
